Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Independence

You decide where each session happens in Independence. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Independence Square, Truman and North Main, or offer both and let the owner pick on each request.

At your place

Owners bring the pet to you. The address is not part of the request: it is shared in chat, the same way it works for drop-in visits in Independence.

At the owner's home

Travel to the pet with your kit. You set a home-visit radius of 3, 5, 10 or 20 km, whether you work the stretch from Mount Washington to Manor Oaks or stay near Independence Square.

Dogs you will meet in Independence

Owners in Independence often keep French Bulldog, Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever. Price your full groom for each dog size, and send a custom offer before payment when a coat needs more work than the request suggested.
